Mx518 or Razer Diamondback?

Hey everybody im thinking of getting a new mouse and I want to know which one you guys think is better the mx518 or the Razer Diamondback. I've used Logitech mice since I got into computers but I think its time for a change. I hear that razer drivers are the sh*$ compared to the Logitech ones. Both mice seem to have similar specs 1600DPI etc, which one should I get?

p.s I have a fUnc pad (rough side) to go with it.

Really only one way to find out what you like....go to a big store where they have both on display...try em both on the same mousemat...

I like the Diamond back too, but the MX510 (or MX518) is my personal preference...

I got a diamond back and had a mx10 sure the viper looks like a normal mouse but it performs better than a logitech. And performance is what you want.

just wait for the razer copperhead (laser with 2000DPI Resolution), assuming you want the best mouse available for gaming. I got the mx518, and it has small buttons, imo

i had the mx510 and decided to upgrade to a diamondback instead of going for the mx518... and i must say i love my diamondback. it's a lot different feel, using my fingertips instead of my whole hand. didn't think i'd like it that much, but it turns out i love it. i say get the diamondback you won't regret it. or you can wait for the copperhead when that comes out
